Even as Ernie’s guitar begins to snarl, it’s seemingly building into a ballad that’s just a more soulful take on the original...After that opening minute, however, the Isleys jump right into the chorus, quickening the chorus a touch and finding the funk in the rhythm.\"  Here's a tribute to this song:  https://bestsong.substack.com/p/summer-breeze-by-the-isley-brothers","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
